What is the difference between Average and Median and why
does this matter to the Las Vegas Rental market?

Average is the sum of the individual items divided by the
number of items. Median is the middle number.

When we add the rents together ($25,500) and divide by 7, we
get an Average rent of $3,642.86. The Median rent is the middle number of
$2,000.

As you can see, the reason it is important to know the
Average and the Median rent price is that a very low number or a very high
number in the group can offset the final number. In our example, we had a very
high number which made an 82% difference of $1642.86. So it is always good to
compare both numbers to get a real sense of what is going on in the market.

It's time. You are ready to move into a rental home. A nice, clean rental home. Some place you can stay for a while. You have saved for deposits and moving costs, and have even asked around about neighborhoods and commutes. Let's do this.

First, shop within your budget. Your budget isn't negotiable. Everyone has a budget to follow. You know what you can afford, and so do property management companies. They have a formula they use to determine your approval and they will follow it. Your monthly rent should be no more than 1/3 of your monthly income. Do not fall in love with a home you can't afford. You will not be approved.

Second, prioritize. Now that you have your budget set, it's time to decide what's important. You should try to find the perfect home for you, but be prepared to make choices. Maybe you are able to drive a little further to work for more square footage or that upgraded chef's kitchen. The home office may have to go in one of the spare bedrooms. The kids may have to wait to get a puppy. Maybe a home with a community pool would be OK after all.

Third, contact the Tenant Placement Specialists with The Shay Hasselmann Group! They will create a customized MLS search to help you find the perfect rental home and will take you through the rental search process step by step and help make finding a rental home a little less over-whelming. The priority lists and choices? Those are still yours.

Picture it: You are standing in an empty rental home. The
carpet is new, the walls have been freshly painted, the kitchen is immaculate.
It's quiet. It has most of the things you have been searching for (the right
schools, a pool, allows pets, and below your max price), but you still aren't
sure about the paint color in the 3rd bedroom.

You should think about it, right? This is going to be your
home for the next year, maybe longer. You have some time. Maybe you should go
grab some lunch and see what else is out there.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Chances are, while you are having lunch and browsing the
internet, someone else is standing at the office handing in their application
and fees. In fact, they are probably scheduling their lease signing and
negotiating the paint color in the 3rd bedroom, too.

The Henderson rental market is full of people looking for the
exact same things you are looking for. It's competitive. If you love it,
someone else does too. Or they will, because they are scheduled to see it next.

Relocation, whether it's around the corner or around the
globe, can be stressful enough without adding the pressure of the competition
breathing down your neck. The Tenant Placement Specialists with The Shay
Hasselmann Group will walk you through the rental search process. We won't take
you out to view properties before you're ready. We won't waste your time. When
you follow our tenant placement system, you are prepared to make a decision the
day you are viewing homes. When you make the decision, we will do our best to
make sure you are the first in line to get the property you want.

If you are serious about moving and are serious about finding
a rental home, The Shay Hasselmann Group will help you beat the competition.
